- All Girls Championship – Maggie sweeps the field and the CCL girls train keeps rolling
- It is amazing how good Maggie has become and how we can start to take her accomplishments for granted. When I saw that she won the All-Girls championship with a perfect 5-0 score, my first thought was of course, what else, she had far out rated the rest of the field. But how great is that, when a 6th grade girl is so expected to dominate, as she did, the K-12 girls championship of Ohio. What an amazing young chess player.
- I was a little afraid that since the CCL Ohio girls train just lost its 2nd and 3rd cars (Emily and Meghana) due to moving out of town that the train would slow down. It actually is acting like it is gaining speed. The CCL girls finished (without Lainie, Stella, Michelle, and Emma playing):
- 1st = Maggie
- 2nd = Victoria
- This was the biggest surprise of the tournament. Well not to me as I have recently noticed how well Victoria has been playing so this is no fluke. Victoria beat all of her competition, except for her lose to Maggie, and gained 219 points.
- 4th = Ellison
- Fresh from her win in New Orleans which earned her an invitation to the National Susan Polgar All-Girls
- 7th = Lisa
- 10th = Lily
